I've got some experience with Fedora and loved it, so I've decided to start throwing it on more of my machines. I would like to limit myself to .rpm based distros and the Gnome 3 interface to maintain as much commonality as possible. My question is regarding three laptops I have that are all running very low-end processors.
One has an AMD Athlon Neo MV-40 CPU with ATI Radeon HD 3200 GPU and 2GB DDR2; another an AMD E300 APU with 4GB DDR3; the last is a netbook with an Atom N2600 and 1GB DDR3.
I will mostly be browsing the web, but will also likely be using these same computers for schoolwork as I progress into my compsci major. While I would prefer to put Linux on all three, I am most concerned about performance on the Atom, given its RAM and CPU in conjunction with its form factor, making it the easiest to take with me but the most limited in its capabilities. Which OS will provide the best performance on such limited hardware?
